The only thing about my Mako 20 and 23 that I ever complain about is that the rod storage. The teak rod holders are too small and the rod holders are to short. The rod holder teak frames are nice but very suseptable to breakage when removal for refinishing and always need re-glueing and repairs...
Any ideas on how to improve, remove or modify this issue? I am in the middle of a transom rebuild anyway on my 23' and would like to do something different.
For the record, I do have upright rod holders, but leaving them upright is not an option for storage while running, while fishing or while at the Marina. I don't want my Van Staal reels stolen. I also like to keep 4 rods on board, not laying on the deck or upright while fishing, because they are always in the way.
In short, has anyone come up with a new and improved version of the original rod holders...?
Thanks-
Bob
